The Gingerbread Family's Ordeal
I received a beautiful Christmas gift the other day,
it was so quaint and pretty but ate it anyway,
was a gingerbread house with a gingerbread family,
consumed the whole house while the family looked away,

Then they looked up at me with sorrowful icing eyes,
I felt so bad...

The Gingerbread Man
We lay side by side in the summer grass,
I reached for the gingerbread man kit
And lifted out a slightly crumbled biscuit,

Taking the tube, I iced a shaky smile onto its face,
Added big, hopeful chocolate drop eyes
And wrote 'I love you' down its front,

Then I handed...

They can't believe that they exist
Without a god to make them;

A pinch of ash and a dash of dust
Relying on a great one to bake them....

Premium Member The Galloping Gingerbread Boy
I am chasing a galloping gingerbread, and the little old man and the
Little old woman and a rake and a fork and a spoon are helping me
When another villager begins yelling at the top of his musical scale,
“Christmas is here! Christmas is here!”

My eyes pop...

The Gingerbread House
Come and live with me
be my spouse
savoring chocolate kisses
in our own gingerbread house.

With four walls
a roof, a door, a window and swing
a pure culinary delight
painted with the sweetest of icings!

We will add more rooms
scented with ginger delight
add love stories
lovely as a ginger bite!

Built by the...

Santa, Snowman, and the Gingerbread Man
He stood still in the chilling winter breeze, with a carrot
for a nose, two sticks for hands, two buttons for eyes, and six tiny
buttons for a mouth. During the day, children liked playing around him,
skating and dancing as they danced, sung, and screamed; the smell
of...

Swinging his hips in Boogie, Woogie Roll

A quite handsome sight with a candy cane in hand

Taking a stroll in an evening   cold chill

To Currier and Ives through the white snow 



Swinging his hips in Boogie, Woogie Roll

Gingerbread Man 

All deck out...

Gingerbread Boy
Tasty gingerbread boy
frosted or plain
cookie so sweet
gee, what a treat!
Gingery gingerbread 
(maybe a little cinnamon too,
can't tell ...)
oh, but its swell
just nibbling on you!

Raisins for a smile
warm and yummy
gingerbread yesterdays
fill up my tummy
with a treasure of memories
all wrapped in a smell ...
gee its swell
just nibbling...

Premium Member Galloping Gingerbread Cookie
‘Twas the season to be merry, and playing around,
shirker Fred was in Vegas; from work he had played hooky.
Asleep in his hotel room, he strangely dreamed about
a man that looked like a galloping gingerbread cookie.

Fred was startled awake by a knock at his door.
Yelling at...

The dough rests 
In the small fridge 
Rolled out by the baker 
She has worked hard now 
But the job’s not done yet 
Cutting the shape 
Then in oven to bake 
Out pops a plate of men 
Gingerbread just get a whiff of them 
Ginger,...

Gingerbread
Gingerbread house
Ice cream cone tree
1 piece of candy for the house
2 pieces for me

The air is full 
With the smell of molasses 
I need to lie down 
As my blood sugar crashes

Cookies, Candy canes 
And a Hershey's kiss
Belief in Santa, youthful metabolism 
These are things...

Premium Member Gingerbread Cottage Fright
At the edge of a wood, in days of summertime,
Lived Hansel and Gretel, once upon a time;
Whose dear father, a poor woodcutter,
Could no longer earn their bread and butter.
Late one night, a conversation overheard--
As from sleeping, the children had been stirred:
"We'll lose them in the...

Premium Member Home Sweet Home
My home sweet home be, by a salt water taffy sea
Where I dream dreamy dreams of whipped creams,
From a pillow of marshmallow on a bed of Jell-O
Under a bedspread of gingerbread, iced in red,
My doors and floors made of graham cracker s'mores 
And gumdrops, lollipops...
